The firn core encompasses the years 1997-2007. Firn core sections were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (PFASs) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PBDEs).

Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA; 0.3-1.8 ng L -1) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA; 0.2-0.6 ng L -1) were the major PFASs while BDE 99 (-1) and BDE 47 (n.d.-2.6 ng L -1) were the major PBDEs. This study demonstrates the occurrence of PFASs and PBDEs in the European Alps and provides the first evidence that PFASs compositions may be changing to PFBA-dominated compositions.",
